Rubber Johnny: experimental short film by Chris Cunningham
by I could watch this imaginative and hallucinatory experimental short film 100 times. Rubber Johnny is the creation of UK film-maker Chris Cunningham. Johnny is a mutant child kept alive living a basement where he mumbles, squeeks and burps to communicate.
Johnny keeps himself amused by shape-shifting, where his body inflates, deflates, squeezes and pops along to the intense soundtrack by regular Cunningham collaborator Aphex Twin. All of this is witnessed by a beady-eyed terrified dog who keeps Johnny company.

Surasi Kusolwong exhibition at the MOMA PS-1
Acclaimed Thai artist Surasi Kusolwong’s latest art installation, Golden Ghost (The Future Belongs to Ghost), invites audience members into a vast field of industrial thread waste to search for three gold necklaces planted by the artist. The audience member who is fortunate enough to find it, can keep the treasure. The day I visited, there were quite a few excited children looking. The work is playful as visitors climb through tonnes and tonnes of thread waste, while serving as a metaphor for excess consumption at both the global and individual level.
Five Production Company Logos in 3D
Five Production Company Logos in 3D sees Emile Zile standing around looking slightly bored in jeans and a hoodie in an empty space that could be an office-style set of ceiling fluoros. His own CGI studio. Incongruously, we hear a descending wall of sound mimicking perfectly the impressive zooms and sweeps of corporate and cinema company promos. Read more

IWDRM is a collection of GIFs from scenes in various movies. Except they’re so much more than that. The GIFs often isolate a small moment, a blink, a breath, a shift in the light, turning a brief moment from films such as Rosemary’s Baby, Blade Runner, and The Truman Show into their own self-contained pieces of art.

UK-based one-man-band Sieben has a new album out: As They Should Sound. Frontman Matt Howden builds songs with a loop pedal and a violin, which he uses for rhythm and melody. His sound is wonderfully sophisticated and cabalistic, with a particularly British sense of lyricism.
